Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Identification of things that are important, meaningful, and valuable is part of clarifying values and beliefs and may help, but there is a more specific option available.
Rationale 2: Identifying and setting goals may help, but there is a more specific option available.
Rationale 3: Stress management may help, but there is a more specific option available.
Rationale 4: Overwork and overinvolvement leave little time for fulfillment of personal needs. Nurses need to learn to ask for what they need and avoid feelings of selfishness when not responding to someone else's needs.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Spirituality is that which gives people meaning and purpose in their lives. It involves finding significant meaning in the entirety of life, including illness and death. The NANDA label Spiritual Distress is defined as disruption of the life principle that pervades one's biological and psychosocial nature. The feelings the client expresses have little to do with his body image.
